Saw this piece in the Guardian today. Some stunning photographs about a truly tragic story. Literally tens of thousands of Albatross chicks are killed every year by the plastic menace. Ocean currents that bring food to the area also bring the millions of pieces of plastic floating in the seas. The adult birds see these fragments as food and feed their young bring about the disasters shown. Tragic
